Ten Characters I’d Name A Kid (Or Pet) After {Top Ten Tuesday}

At present time, I do not have any kids or pets. I do, however, have a LIST OF NAMES I’d like to use one day for a kid or pet (whichever comes first).

Fair warning: I’m pretty shallow when it comes to names. This list contains names that I think sound nice and has NOTHING to do with whether or not I actually LIKE the character. If a villain has a pretty name, I wouldn’t mind naming someone after them. However, I would probably keep that little fact to myself then 😉

So here’s my list of names! For fun, I did add a few personality traits.

From:

Character traits I’d like my hypothetical pet to share:

Any of these names on your hypothetical list as well?
What are the characters you would name a kid (or pet) after?
Would you only name them after good characters or are villains also ok if the name is pretty?

I like Celaena and Aelin, and Luna is nice too. For some reason Luna seems like a great cat name. I like Rhys as well. Kaden is not bad. Seems like that would be a good girls name.Greg recently posted…Fandom Mashups #9

Yes, Luna is definitely a name that can be used for both kids and pets. And it does seem to fit perfectly for cats!
Kaden was actually a buy in the book, but now that you mention it, it does seem to fit even better for a girl! I’m gonna go ahead and add this to my girl names list as well 🙂

THESE ALL ARE GREAT NAMES!!! plus I am soo sooo glad you included Dorian, that little cinnamon roll.
also you it was wise of you to include the character traits. Mind if I suggest some for Maven?? that are- evil overlord, but cinnamon roll inside, swoony??Prabhleen recently posted…CITY OF BONES BY CASSANDRA CLARE- REVIEW

I think Luna is going to become a super popular name! My sister and her husband named their daughter Luna, because they are huge Harry Potter fans, but even if people don’t know it from that, it’s still a very pretty name!

Abraxos would definitely be a good pet name! Like for a rescue cat or dog or something 🙂 I think Maas really comes up with a lot of great names for her characters! Thalia and Luna are great names, both for kids and pets 🙂Jamie @ Watch Game Read recently posted…Ten Characters I’d Name a Pet After

Sarah J. Maas has some very odd character names, but they’re all so wonderful! I love Celaena, Dorian, Rhys, Lysandra, and Elain/Elena (I just love that name in general, so pretty!) especially. I really want to name one of my future cats after Lysandra and Rhys, maybe even get them at the same time. I love the name Maven too, but defintly more for a kid than a pet. There are so many great character names though, it’s impossible to choose! My TTT: http://glitteringreads.com/2016/10/18/ten-wonderful-names-i-might-just-use-for-my-future-cats/

Yes, Sarah J. Maas definitely has some of my favorite fictional names ever (or maybe that’s also because I love her characters so much). I could have made a top ten with only her names 😉 I love Lysandra and Elain/Elena too!

I love your list! I almost put Luna on mine as well but ended up going with Minerva instead. So many Harry Potter characters would make great pet names 🙂Suzanne recently posted…Top Ten Characters I’d Name a Pet After
